Where Can You Find Boxes For Moving House?
You are going to need a lot of them...
Moving house can be an extremely stressful ordeal for people as (money aside) memories are left behind, along with friends, familiar places and a home you have come to love. It is also difficult due to the physical upheaval of having all your belongings boxed up and entrusted to a team of removal men. It is a necessary experience that many have to go through at least a few times in their lives.<br><br> An often overlooked part of moving house is the equipment you need to get all you things packed up and safely prepared for a potential lengthy journey by road. While things like bubble wrap, newspaper, furniture covers, box tape and other items can be purchased from stationery shops and alike, cardboard boxes, suitable for heavy items can be hard to come by. This article will highlight some of the best places to go to get some.<br><br> Supermarkets<br><br> Supermarkets are local, go through an epic amount of cardboard boxes and always give them away for free. Depending on the supermarkets size you may be able to just go any time and ask for some. However, many supermarkets get money for the amount of stuff they recycle and so will either refuse to give any away, or will track how much they are giving away by rationing them to a certain number per customer. <br><br> Factories<br><br> Some factories also go through a lot of boxes. Depending on what they produce factories can often end up with great piles of boxes much like supermarkets but may be harder to get boxes from than a supermarket. The best thing to do is to contact them by phone or email first.<br><br> Specialist Box Companies<br><br> If you need specially designed boxes of particular dimensions it may be an idea to contact a specialist box company and ask them to make you some boxes especially for you. These are good for boxing up big ornaments or maybe musical instruments to ensure their safety. <br><br> Online <br><br> There are a growing number of online sources of cardboard packing boxes for a range of uses. From their website most of these sites will let you place an order using a form and will even have them delivered to you. Removal boxes are often one of their specialties too so you can even buy your tape and bubble wrap too. <br><br> Bins<br><br> If all else fails, you can always go rooting through bins behind a line of shops. It may be cheap and easy but will probably be smelly too.
